ISTQB ISTQB-CTFL Question Answer
Which of the following statements about the test pyramid is TRUE?
Each layer of the test pyramid groups tests related to a single non-functional quality charactenstic.
The higher the layer of the test pyramid, the more production code a single automated test within the layer tends to cover
The higher the layer of the test pyramid, the more maintainable a single automated test within the layer tends to be
The higher the layer of the test pyramid, the more isolated a single automated test within the layer tends to be.
The test pyramid concept suggests that there should be more low-level tests (unit tests) and fewer high-level tests (end-to-end tests).
As we move higher up the pyramid (e.g., from unit tests to integration tests to end-to-end tests), each test covers more production code.
Higher-level tests (like end-to-end) validate larger parts of the application, including multiple units and their interactions.
This aligns with the principle that higher-level tests provide broader coverage but are fewer in number and more expensive to run and maintain.
